That Name For the New Hotel.
Mr; Editor:
A name for the new hotel is getting
interesting. I notice that Mr. Cald
well favors **Coneord' 'for its ettphony
—and the harmony and peace which it
stands for. He seriously objects to
"Cabarrus” as but few can give it its
f French- accent. , I have been here 43
ydrs and I have never heard * the
name pronounced other than what the
most unlettered person would call it*
and he was always understood. Let
me ask, don't we owe the fellow up
north seme consideration? He per
sists in calling our beautiful city
“Konk-ord.” Take the case.

Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter.
New York, Jan. 25.—The murket
shows no essential change, being very
quiet but with a steady undertone \
ahd betraying no symptom of in
herent weakness.
At times small waves of short
covering developed, but for the most
part the murket lias to rely for sup
port on trade demaud which, while
in evidence of easy spots-, quickly
fades away on any advancing ten
dency.
Apparently buyers of goods are
firmly wedded to the belief that so
many dates cannot be marketed
without depressing prices further,
and as far as possible nre holding off/
in the hope that cheaper raw ma
terial will be reflected in lower
prices for finished goods. Such a
policy is susceptible of over-exten- '
sion, but for the time being is es- ,
fective in checking any sustained N
rallies. !
Even with such economy, however, j
the distribution of goods is on an i
■ expanding scale as compared with 1
recent years ami at prices which a
leave at least a modest margin of ’
profit to the mills. The report that
the American section in Lancashire ■
; will further reduce their working fi
! schedule may be interpreted as bear- (
f ish at first blush, but almost any-
I thing is preferable to accumulating
, goods on hand, a lid conditions in
! Lancashire are without doubt mending
now and the worst has probably been
seen. The action can be reversed at
any time and apparently not all the
mills ure finding it necessary.
Goods are wanted iu increasing
quantity and, the longer the appetite
for is- restrained the more
voracious it will be when given flee
rein. Weekly statistics for a time 1
■nay favor shorts, but the risk iu 1
taking that side of the market seeing •
quite out of- proportion to prosper- ,
tive profits. 1

A Tribute to Miss Constance Cline.
In 1004 Miss Constance Cline was
elected a teacher in the Concord
schools. After serving most acceptab
ly for four or five years she had to
give up her work on account of
health. In 1012 she returned to the
school room and in 1015 she was
elected principal of Central Gram
mar School. She held this position
until about a year ago when she had to
give up her work and enter a hospi
tal for treatment. For three years
she had. been supervisor of all the
grammar' grades in ojjy schools.
I was most closely associated with !
Miss Cline and her work as principal
of Central School and 1 have.never
known a more conscientious worker
or a more devoted teacher. She was
endowed with a charming personality
that won the love and respect of her
pupils nnd called out tife loyal sup
port of those who worked under her
direction. Sho was indeed a master
teacher and she si>ent her whole life
in perfecting herself in her art.
Though much of her work was done
under the handicap of great physical
weakness, she always had a smile
nnd a word of encouragement for
each child. Her boys were devoted to
her and everyone felt that he had
been done a wrong if he had not
been placed in Miss Connie’s room.
The excellence of our schpol sys
tem is due in no small 'pirrt to her
unselfish devotion to her work. Miss
Cline was recognized as one of the
strongest teachers of the state, and
her fellow teachers were "glad to do
her honor. She had served as presi
dent of the State Grammar Teachers
Association and also as a member of
the executive committee of the North
Cnrolina Teachers Assembly. Her
pupils, her jfiffrons, her fellow teach
ers loved her devotedly and eternity
alone can measure the influence of
her life ou the boys and girls of this
community. , A. S. WEBB.
Thinks Hotel Should Be Named For
Mr- J. W. Cannon.
Mr. Edtor:
Couford alone did not build the
new hotel. It was built by the citi
zens of , Cabarrus county, If CoiP
cord were to claim all the eredit an#"
name the "hotel without considering
the subscribers from other parts of
the county it would be unfair.
Why should not Concord honor
the memory of the sons of Cabarrus?
Atlanta pays tribute to Henry
Grady: Raleigh to Sir Walter Ka-
Jeigh; Greensboro to O Henry; Dur
ham to Washington Duke; Winstou-
Salem to Count Zinzeudorf and
Robert E. J.ee; Greenville to General
IVinsett. Are not Concord's and Ca
barrus' sons worthy of such honor?'
The Stephen Cabarrus would be
an excellent n.ame. The J. W. Can
non would, honor the name of one of
America's greatest captains of in
dustrial empire with Cabarrus' as
its center, brought thousands of dol
lars into the community and provid
ed employment for hundreds.
When the stock was solicited the
subscribers were promised an oppor
tunity to have a hearing on the
name. Did the solicitors tell the

“LITTLE ABE HUMMEL”
■■ “~t“ v
i Publicity Long Avoided—Had Enough
i «sf ttae Spectacular. He said.
' New York World. m
"Little Abe” .Hummel, dead, is cont
• inf back to the city from which he
i fled after the elaborate fabric of his
i life collapsed about his ears twenty
• years ago. This is the news carried
by the Associated Press last night
1 from London, where the diminutive
i lawyer died on Saturday.
His two sisters, from whom he had
1 been inseparable ever since he was
1 released from prison here, announced
in London that they would send the
body to New' York for burial. Togeth
er the trio —Hummel!, Mrs. Kaffen
burg and Miss Bertha Hummel—had
occupied an apartment in the fash
ionable Portman Square- neighbor
hood since the war.
•At the age of seventy-five, with
death approaching, Hummel told his
friends: \
“I do- not want publicity when I
die. I had enough in my life.”
Publicity Long Avoided.
This was given as the reason why ]
they kept his death a secret. For!
twenty years he and tiis sisters had :
religiously kept out of the public
eye—quite as. religiously as “Little :
i Abe” kept in it during the previous j
| thirty years of his life.
The career of “Little Abe” was one i
of the ihost picturesque features of
closing years of the last century in
the city. The law firm of Howe &
Hummel htyl a world-wide fame. To
the cluttered offices of “Big Bill” 1
Howe and “little Abe” marched half ;
the criminal world in search of ad
vice nnd defense. Hide by side with
them in the crowded anteroom of the
old office in Centre Street where the
most prominent actresses, the best
known of the men-about-town, and
all the flotsam of the city’s life which
had drifted- under the overreaching
lip of the law.
Inspiration of Fiction.
The characters of Howe and Hum
mel were so sharply marked, so full
of curious human qualities, so bizarre,
that they have been the frequent sub
jects of authors. About them Arthur
Train built the characters of his
“Tut and Mr. Tutt.” .j
--“ Big Bill” Howe, was the trial law
yer of the pair. His dress was a

court.
Howe was conceded to be perhaps
tiie greatest criminal lawyer of hhi
day in this eouirtry. His was the art
of an actor. He wept at will and
juries seemed to obey the slightest
change of expression upon his face.
“Little Abe” begun as Howe’s office
boy. He was a bright boy and soon
found a natural place for himself in
that office, -.where Vshrewdness was at
a premium.
■ “You ought to See my little Abey ;
he's so smart.!’ Howe would tell every
one he met for the first time, even
years after Hummel entered the firm.
Caught in Divorce Scandal.
“Little Abe” was the office man. In
later years he was called “vermin,”
“rat.” ‘'blackmailer,” and many other
epithets after he had been caught in
the Dodge divorce scandal and con
victed of suborning perjury. But
when “Howe & Hummel” were at
their crest, men spoke respectfully of
"Little Abe” in jipblie, whatever
might be their private thoughts.
In the shining baid pate ot Hummel,
enormous atop such a ridiculously
small body,"were'stored away the se
crets of many of the city's most prom
inent persons. He was a veteran first
night patron of the theatre; "wrote
more than one play himself. He was
a gourmet of admitted discrimination.
He was involved in almost every large
| divorce action brought in the city.
I Many stories are told of Howe &
' Hummel. Their office made no pre
hensions except for activity. Law
; books were piled on tables and chairs.

I Howe” from Civil War days, when

fondness for office boys.

“big Bill” died before “Little Abe”
came into disgrace. He would have
kept copiously before the jury which
tried hiq “little A bey.'' Many think
if he had been alive Hummel would
not have been convicted. ,
Hummel's difficulty came when
Charles F. Dodge, chased for months
by the District Attorney of New York
all over the Southwest and extricat
ed a dozen times by Hummel was
caught and confessed Hummel bribed
him to swear falsely.
